The reason that you've not seen reports from people running 5.2 and 5.1
(whether RHEL or CentOS) is that we've been discouraging people from
using those versions. The 5.3 beta version of RHEL is the best one for
eval purposes at the moment, also Fedora would be a good distro to test
if you want something thats most uptodate,
